Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
A 1954 legal challenge brought by parties in four states to address the legal question as to whether or not segregated educational facilities for white and black students satisfy the “separate but equal” doctrine standard. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal facilities are inherently unequal” (Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 1954). The separate but equal doctrine had been set by the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case. For more information, see Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) and Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
